Sorry you are sad.I was pretty upset myself but for totally different reasons.(work problems)I used to be sad about the 4th of July because everyone's family would get together and celebrate and I was always alone or going to other peoples celebrations, feeling like a a third wheel.Now I mostly just don't think about it.Sometimes it still gets to me though, seeing all these happy photos of people on Facebook but then later I find out it wasn't as fun as it appeared.I wish I could help you get over this funk that you go through. I wish there was a way you could let it go and let it be in the past and just enjoy now.I guess that's the problem, neither of us are enjoying the now right NOW.We need to change that and find a way.Life is short and we will be old biddies before we know it! LOL!We need to figure out how to have some FUN!and to forget the stuff that happened and we can't change.We can change our future, hopefully, and we've got to focus on the positives.Hang in there, I know it's so much easier said than done.But you have a lot of people out in blogland who care about you!XOXOXO

I thought you story about why you got blue after July 4th very touching. I actually had the opposite, I would get blue when summer cam. When I was a child we had no other children to play with and my poor sister was not a good playmate for me for a number of reasons. She was younger and didn't seem to have much imagination whereas I would sail the seven seas and fight lions or I would be the ringmaster of a 3 ring circus. I would cry on the last day of school because I knew we would have a rough summer with just the two of us. So I know kind of what you are feeling. Thankfully, mine is also getting better because I love flea markets so much and I go all of the time now. I love your blog and thanks for the insight of the blogger behind the pretty pictures!!
